Terror

Chapter Sixteen

Bryce stood meters away from one of those followers with a metal chair, holding it in his hands. The problem was that this girl had the same power that he had, but he couldn't figure out the proper way to ambush her.

"Just throw the chair at her!" Mia called, ducking beneath the front desk.

"Eden already killed one of the followers," Bryce said, rolling his eyes.

He whipped the chair while Eden shot a bullet at the same time, but nothing happened. It wasn't exactly Will could do much with his power, but he held a different chair.

"Is that all you got?" the girl snarled.

Bryce then recognized that this girl was Lucy due to the black lipstick and eyeshadow she used to wear. He didn't realize she ended up dying, but it was probably when Simcoe burned to ash.

He dashed down the hallway, glancing around the small rooms. Seeing another chair, he picked it up and started creeping toward the door.

Gunshots went off as he peeked out, seeing Lucy make contact as he slammed her with the chair. She went flying into the opposite room as Will and Eden dashed down the hall.

"I feel like those spies in movies," Will remarked with a grin.

"I'm the helpless victim!" Mia called from the front.

Lucy had stumbled against the locked window as Eden fired multiple times. Will threw his own chair as Lucy gritted her teeth.

Bryce realized his chair was smashed to pieces. He went back to the room, wobbly grabbing the small dresser. His arms felt like bricks as he shuffled into the room, except that he was knocked down by a chair. Falling into the wall, he groaned as his head smacked against the window. Eden and Will didn't ask questions because they couldn't focus on their injuries.

The dresser had landed on his own legs, letting out a groan. The pressure ached that trying to move his legs made him grit his teeth.

Will threw another chair at Lucy while Eden shot, but he knew they had to have three items before they could actually kill her.

"We're running out of things to use," Will said.

Suddenly, Mia came running over, tossing the black office chair on Lucy as she collapsed to the ground. Lucy disappeared as all of them gaped at the sight. Out of all four of them, Mia ended up actually doing something sensible for once.

"Did that actually happen?" Will asked, turning to Mia with widened eyes.

"Eden, say some Bible verse because it's a miracle," Bryce hissed.

The three all attempted to pull off the wooden dresser from his legs. He cried out in pain before they finally pushed it off his legs, but trying to move them brought immense pain.

"Philippians said that I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

"I just wanted to try something," Mia said, sticking her tongue out.

Bryce leaned forward, trying to push himself up, but his legs shot with pain as he gritted his teeth.

"Why do you always have to get injured? You're the tallest," Mia huffed.

Setting a hand on the cold wall, Bryce wobbly tried to stand but crashed to the ground. Eden pulled up a pant leg, seeing the legs filled with blue and purple bruises. The back of his head still ached, and he felt he couldn't walk at all.

"Are my legs broken?" Bryce groaned.

"They are swollen too," Will remarked.

"Okay, maybe there's a wheelchair around here," Eden stated. "That's what they use, right?"
